Monument Valley – Tattooed Fists

Bit of an unusual one for you guys tonight.. Londoner Ned Younger, bettter known as Monument Valley, has created a unique video for his new single ‘Tattooed Fists‘ inspired by the Canadian TV show ‘Night Walk’. Think a more stripped down version of The Streets, with indie undertones. Great stuff!

Tattooed Fists‘ is taken from Monument Valley’s debut album ‘Walking On Skin‘, out June 9.

Transit – So Long, So Long (Futures & Sutures Sessions)

Well if this isn’t a perfect song for a Monday, then I don’t know what is. Boston rockers Transit have really nailed it with this stripped down version of their single ‘So Long, So Long’. Swapping the carefree pop punk feeling of the original for a more heartfelt and hopeful plea, this is exactly what you need to get through a grey weekday afternoon..

Natives – Ghost

New Forest boys Natives have just released a new video for their upcoming single ‘Ghost‘, taken from the band’s debut album ‘Indoor War‘. Channelling the likes of Twin Atlantic and Canterbury, this catchy piece of melodic pop rock will be a great roadtrip soundtrack for the summer. Let’s hope the weather heats up soon!

Hold Your Horse Is – Whistlepig

Its quite a sad one for this Monday, I’m afraid! Not the track itself, the effortlessly catchy ‘Whistlepig‘ by Surrey / Hampshire boys Hold Your Horse Is. Its the fact that this is the last video from the alt-rockers, as they’ve gone the way of many a local hero, calling it a day long before their time. Speaking of bands gone too soon, Reuben’s own Guy Davis makes a nice little appearance here too.

Go on, watch it now..
